669018bc9c storage: optional 'refresh' elemement on pool
The new 'refresh' element can override the default refresh operations
for a storage pool. The only currently supported override is to set
the volume allocation size to the volume capacity. This can be specified
by adding the following snippet:

<pool>
...
  <refresh>
    <volume allocation='capacity'/>
  </refresh>
...
</pool>

This is useful for certain backends where computing the actual allocation
of a volume might be an expensive operation.

The custom namespaces were originally registered against the storage
pool source struct, but during review this was changed to the top level

43e6686c7f storage: Disallow usage of the HBA for a fc_host backing
Disallow providing the wwnn/wwpn of the HBA in the adapter XML:

  <adapter type='fc_host' [parent='scsi_hostN'] wwnn='HBA_wwnn'
    wwpn='HBA_wwpn'/>

This should be considered a configuration error since a vHBA
would not be created. In order to use the HBA as the backing the
following XML should be used:

  <adapter type='scsi_host' name='scsi_hostN'/>

So add a check prior to the checkParent call to validate that
the provided wwnn/wwpn resolves to a vHBA and not an HBA.

0d157b3fed disk: Fixup error handling path for devmapper when part_separator='yes'
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1346566

If libvirt_parthelper is erroneously told to append the partition
separator 'p' onto the generated output for a disk pool using device
mapper that has 'user_friendly_names' set to true, then the error
recovery path will fail to find volume resulting in the pool being
in an unusable state.

So, augment the documentation to provide the better hint that the
part_separator='yes' should be set when user_friendly_names are not
being used. Additionally, once we're in the error path where the
returned name doesn't match the expected partition name try to see
if the reason is because the 'p' was erroneosly added. If so alter
the about to be removed vol->target.path so that the DiskDeleteVol
code can find the partition that was created and remove it.

a48c714115 storage: remove "luks" storage volume type
The current LUKS support has a "luks" volume type which has
a "luks" encryption format.

This partially makes sense if you consider the QEMU shorthand
syntax only requires you to specify a format=luks, and it'll
automagically uses "raw" as the next level driver. QEMU will
however let you override the "raw" with any other driver it
supports (vmdk, qcow, rbd, iscsi, etc, etc)

IOW the intention though is that the "luks" encryption format
is applied to all disk formats (whether raw, qcow2, rbd, gluster
or whatever). As such it doesn't make much sense for libvirt
to say the volume type is "luks" - we should be saying that it
is a "raw" file, but with "luks" encryption applied.

IOW, when creating a storage volume we should use this XML

  <volume>
    <name>demo.raw</name>
    <capacity>5368709120</capacity>
    <target>
      <format type='raw'/>
      <encryption format='luks'>
        <secret type='passphrase' uuid='0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccd2f80d6f'/>
      </encryption>
    </target>
  </volume>

and when configuring a guest disk we should use

  <disk type='file' device='disk'>
    <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
    <source file='/home/berrange/VirtualMachines/demo.raw'/>
    <target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/>
    <encryption format='luks'>
      <secret type='passphrase' uuid='0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccd2f80d6f'/>
    </encryption>
  </disk>

This commit thus removes the "luks" storage volume type added
in

  Author: John Ferlan <jferlan@redhat.com>
  Date:   Tue Jun 21 12:59:54 2016 -0400

    util: Add 'luks' to the FileTypeInfo

The storage file probing code is modified so that it can probe
the actual encryption formats explicitly, rather than merely
probing existance of encryption and letting the storage driver
guess the format.

The rest of the code is then adapted to deal with
VIR_STORAGE_FILE_RAW w/ VIR_STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_FORMAT_LUKS
instead of just VIR_STORAGE_FILE_LUKS.

The commit mentioned above was included in libvirt v2.0.0.
So when querying volume XML this will be a change in behaviour
vs the 2.0.0 release - it'll report 'raw' instead of 'luks'
for the volume format, but still report 'luks' for encryption
format.  I think this change is OK because the storage driver
did not include any support for creating volumes, nor starting
guets with luks volumes in v2.0.0 - that only since then.
Clearly if we change this we must do it before v2.1.0 though.

e7bde8d319 storage: Fix algorithm generating path names for devmapper
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1265694

Commit id '020135dc' didn't quite get the algorithm correct when a
device mapper source ended with a non numeric value (e.g. ends with
an alphabet value).

This patch modifies the 'part_separator' logic to add the "p" separator
to the attempted target path name only when specified as part_separator='yes'.

For a source name that already ends with a number, the logic doesn't change
as the part separator would need to be there.

For a source name that ends with something other than a number, this allows
the possibility that a "p" separator can be added. The default for one of
these source devices is to not add the separator.

The key for device mapper and the need for a partition separator "p" is
the presence of a number in the last character of the device name link
in /dev/mapper.  A name such as "/dev/mapper/mpatha1" would generate
a "/dev/mapper/mpatha1p1" partition, while "/dev/mapper/mpatha" would
generate partition "/dev/mapper/mpatha1". Similarly for a device
mapper entry not using friendly names or an alias, a device such as
"/dev/mapper/3600a0b80005b10ca00005ad656fd8d93" would generate a
paritition "/dev/mapper/3600a0b80005b10ca00005ad656fd8d93p1", while
a device such as "/dev/mapper/3600a0b80005b10ca00005e115729093f" would
generate a partition "/dev/mapper/3600a0b80005b10ca00005e115729093f1".
The long number is the WWID of the device. It's also possible to assign
an alias for a device mapper entry, that alias follows the same rules
with respect to ending with a number or not when adding a "p" to create
the target device path.

are some cases where we want to make this distinction, but we currently
can't.

Handle <mode> parsing like we handle <owner>/<group>: if no value is

4b2b53f674 conf: Remove source host name check for iSCSI
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1171984
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188463

Remove the check for the source host name for iSCSI source XML processing
declaring duplicate sources when the source device path and if present the
initiator of a proposed storage pool matches an existing storage pool.

The backend iSCSI storage driver uses 'iscsiadm --mode session' to query
available iscsid target sessions. The output displayed is the IP address
and the IQN (target path) of known targets. The displayed IP address
is a resolved address based on the session --login. Additionally, iscsid
keeps track of the various ways to define the host name (IPv4 Address,
IPv6 Address, /etc/hosts, etc.) for that IQN (see output of an 'iscsiadm
--mode node'). If an incoming IQN matches and the host name provided by
libvirt is resolved to the existing IQN, then iscsid will "reuse" the
session. Although libvirt could do the same name resolution, if there
is a difference, iscsid could still declare two seemingly different sources
to be the same and not create a new session which means libvirt now has
two storage pools looking at the same source. Thus to avoid any strange
host name resolution issues, just rely on iscsid for that and do not
allow multiple pools on the same host to use the same device path (IQN).

b09ff13848 storage: Add mixed fc_host/scsi_host duplicate adapter source checks
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1159180

The virStoragePoolSourceFindDuplicate only checks the incoming definition
against the same type of pool as the def; however, for "scsi_host" and
"fc_host" adapter pools, it's possible that either some pool "scsi_host"
adapter definition is already using the scsi_hostN that the "fc_host"
adapter definition wants to use or some "fc_host" pool adapter definition
is using a vHBA scsi_hostN or parent scsi_hostN that an incoming "scsi_host"
definition is trying to use.

This patch adds the mismatched type checks and adds extraneous comments
to describe what each check is determining.

This patch also modifies the documentation to be describe what scsi_hostN
devices a "scsi_host" source adapter should use and which to avoid. It also
updates the parent definition to specifically call out that for mixed
environments it's better to define which parent to use so that the duplicate
pool checks can be done properly.

5530f248db storage: Introduce 'managed' for the fchost parent
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1160926

Introduce a 'managed' attribute to allow libvirt to decide whether to
delete a vHBA vport created via external means such as nodedev-create.
The code currently decides whether to delete the vHBA based solely on
whether the parent was provided at creation time. However, that may not
be the desired action, so rather than delete and force someone to create
another vHBA via an additional nodedev-create allow the configuration of
the storage pool to decide the desired action.

During createVport when libvirt does the VPORT_CREATE, set the managed
value to YES if not already set to indicate to the deleteVport code that
it should delete the vHBA when the pool is destroyed.

If libvirtd is restarted all the memory only state was lost, so for a
persistent storage pool, use the virStoragePoolSaveConfig in order to
write out the managed value.

Because we're now saving the current configuration, we need to be sure
to not save the parent in the output XML if it was undefined at start.
Saving the name would cause future starts to always use the same parent
which is not the expected result when not providing a parent. By not
providing a parent, libvirt is expected to find the best available
vHBA port for each subsequent (re)start.

At deleteVport, use the new managed value to decide whether to execute
the VPORT_DELETE.  Since we no longer save the parent in memory or in
XML when provided, if it was not provided, then we have to look it up.

42a021c120 storage: Ensure fc_host parent matches wwnn/wwpn

was correct for the createVport path. As it turns out, that may not be

With this change the following is reported:

b6938a7c88 docs: Point to list of valid pool target volume formats
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1092886

Rather than point off to some nefarious "pool-specific docs" page when
describing the "format" field for the target pool provide a link to the
storage driver page which describes the various valid formats for each
pool type.  Also make it a bit more clear that if a valid format isn't
specified, then the type field is ignored.

ef48a1b613 scsi_host: Introduce virFindSCSIHostByPCI
Introduce a new function to parse the provided scsi_host parent address
and unique_id value in order to find the /sys/class/scsi_host directory
which will allow a stable SCSI host address

Add a test to scsihosttest to lookup the host# name by using the PCI address
and unique_id value

a4bd62adc1 storage: Introduce parentaddr into virStoragePoolSourceAdapter
Between reboots and kernel reloads, the SCSI host number used for SCSI
storage pools may change requiring modification to the storage pool XML
in order to use a specific SCSI host adapter.

This patch introduces the "parentaddr" element and "unique_id" attribute
for the SCSI host adapter in order to uniquely identify the adapter
between reboots and kernel reloads. For now the goal is to only parse
and format the XML. Both will be required to be provided in order to
uniquely identify the desired SCSI host.

The new XML is expected to be as follows:

  <adapter type='scsi_host'>
    <parentaddr unique_id='3'>
      <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1f' func='0x2'/>
    </parentaddr>
  </adapter>

where "parentaddr" is the parent device of the SCSI host using the PCI
address on which the device resides and the value from the unique_id file
for the device. Both the PCI address and unique_id values will be used
to traverse the /sys/class/scsi_host/ directories looking at each link
to match the PCI address reformatted to the directory link format where
"domain🚌slot:function" is found.  Then for each matching directory
the unique_id file for the scsi_host will be used to match the unique_id
value in the xml.

For a PCI address listed above, this will be formatted to "0000:00:1f.2"
and the links in /sys/class/scsi_host will be used to find the host#
to be used for the 'scsi_host' device. Each entry is a link to the
/sys/bus/pci/devices directories, e.g.:

%  ls -al /sys/class/scsi_host/host2
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Jun  1 00:22 /sys/class/scsi_host/host2 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ata3/host2/scsi_host/host2

% cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/unique_id
3

The "parentaddr" and "name" attributes are mutually exclusive to identify
the SCSI host number. Use of the "parentaddr" element will be the preferred
mechanism.

This patch only supports to parse and format the XMLs. Later patches will
add code to find out the scsi host number.

a9fd30e633 storagevol: add nocow to vol xml
Add 'nocow' to storage volume xml so that user can have an option
to set NOCOW flag to the newly created volume. It's useful on btrfs
file system to enhance performance.

Btrfs has low performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest
in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this
bad performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files. Generally, there
are two ways to turn off COW on btrfs: a) by mounting fs with nodatacow,
then all newly created files will be NOCOW. b) per file. Add the NOCOW file
attribute. It could only be done to empty or new files.

This patch tries the second way, according to 'nocow' option, it could set
NOCOW flag per file:
for raw file images, handle 'nocow' in libvirt code; for non-raw file images,
pass 'nocow=on' option to qemu-img, and let qemu-img to handle that (requires
qemu-img version >= 2.1).

aa50a5c727 doc: storage: Explicitly state that it's possible to have non-unique key
With most of our storage backends it's possible to have two separate
volume keys to point to a single volume. (By creating sym/hard-links to
local files or by mounting remote filesystems to two different locations
and creating pools on top of them) Document this possibility.

ecd881b7a7 storage: add network-dir as new storage volume type
In the 'directory' and 'netfs' storage pools, a user can see
both 'file' and 'dir' storage volume types, to know when they
can descend into a subdirectory.  But in a network-based storage
pool, such as the upcoming 'gluster' pool, we use 'network'
instead of 'file', and did not have any counterpart for a
directory until this patch.  Adding a new volume type
'network-dir' is better than reusing 'dir', because it makes
it clear that the only way to access 'network' volumes within
that container is through the network mounting (leaving 'dir'
for something accessible in the local file system).

* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (virStorageVolType): Expand enum.
* docs/formatstorage.html.in: Document it.

ed5fa7f393 storage: document gluster pool
Add support for a new <pool type='gluster'>, similar to
RBD and Sheepdog.  Terminology wise, a gluster volume
forms a libvirt storage pool, within the gluster volume,
individual files are treated as libvirt storage volumes.

* docs/schemas/storagepool.rng (poolgluster): New pool type.
* docs/formatstorage.html.in: Document gluster.
* docs/storage.html.in: Likewise, and contrast it with netfs.
* tests/storagepoolxml2xmlin/pool-gluster.xml: New test.

1b5c8d4cbc storage: expose volume meta-type in XML
I got annoyed at having to use both 'virsh vol-list $pool --details'
AND 'virsh vol-dumpxml $vol $pool' to learn if I had populated
the volume correctly.  Since two-thirds of the data present in
virStorageVolGetInfo() already appears in virStorageVolGetXMLDesc(),
this just adds the remaining piece of information, as:

<volume type='...'>
  ...
</volume>

* docs/formatstorage.html.in: Document new <volume type=...>.
* docs/schemas/storagevol.rng (vol): Add it to RelaxNG.
* src/conf/storage_conf.h (virStorageVolTypeToString): Declare.

the metatype.

ced2e3bed3 doc: storage pool permission copy-paste fix
The description for <permissions> was copied from the storage volume
section to the storage pool section, but the semantics are different:
1. Currently only the "dir", "fs" and "netfs" storage pools use it.
2. They use it only to build the final directory.
3. A default for the storage volumes can't be set.

eb0d79c64b storage_pool: Rework chap XML to mimic ceph
The existing 'chap' XML logic was never used - just defined.  Rather than
try to insert a square peg into a round hole, blow it up and rewrite the
logic to follow the 'ceph' format.

Remove the former "chap.login" and "chap.passwd" fields and replace
with "chap.username" and "chap.secret" in _virStoragePoolAuthChap.
Adjust the virStoragePoolDefParseAuthChap() to process.

Change the rng file to describe the new layout

Update the formatstorage.html to describe the usage of the secret element
to mention that the secret type "iscsi" and "ceph" can be used
to storage pool too.

Update the formatsecret.html to include a reference to the storage pool

Update tests to handle the changes from 'login' and 'passwd' to 'username'
and '<secret>' format
